    Great boat, even better tour guide

    Overall, was a great well organised trip. The weather was a bit grey and drizzly but that is out of anyone’s control. We had the Golden deluxe suite, beautiful and spacious with the best bathroom and finally a hot, great pressure shower. Decent selection of food for bigger lunch and brekkie, at di bê the chefs tried their best with a fine dining experience. Best of all we had a great tour Guide. His name was Chris (Anh), he was very cheerful, funny, interactive and cared about delivering a good experience.

    The best cruise of Ha Long Bay

    This cruise exceeded my expectations in every way! My only regret is a one night trip instead of a two night cruise. You get on the boat at around 1pm the first day and exit at 10:45am the best day, so it isn’t even a full 24 hours on the ship. I promise you, the ship is so lovely you will really be keen to stay! The rooms on the ship are outstanding - true luxury. When we checked out of our hotel, the front desk made a comment that the Scarlet Pearl was the most luxurious of all the cruises. They were not wrong! Floor to ceiling windows and a gorgeous soaking tub overlooking the water The staff was absolutely excellent- especially Wendy, the cruise director! Every member of the staff was incredibly kind. Book a two night cruise on the Scarlet Pearl, you won’t regret it!

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your feedback We are so happy that you enjoyed the Scarlet Pearl Cruise -The Pearl of Ha Long Bay ( 2 Days 1 Night Tour ) Thanks again for joining us. Have a nice time in Vietnam! Best regards, Luong

    Scarlet Pearl Cruise - The Pearl of Ha Long Bay - 2 Days 1 Night: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.

    How much does Scarlet Pearl Cruise - The Pearl of Ha Long Bay - 2 Days 1 Night cost?

    +

    Prices start at $255 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Scarlet Pearl Cruise - The Pearl of Ha Long Bay - 2 Days 1 Night take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.

    Is Scarlet Pearl Cruise - The Pearl of Ha Long Bay - 2 Days 1 Night worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Scarlet Pearl Cruise - The Pearl of Ha Long Bay - 2 Days 1 Night?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Scarlet Pearl Cruise - The Pearl of Ha Long Bay - 2 Days 1 Night suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Scarlet Pearl Cruise - The Pearl of Ha Long Bay - 2 Days 1 Night?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Scarlet Pearl Cruise - The Pearl of Ha Long Bay - 2 Days 1 Night start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Hanoi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Hanoi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Hanoi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Scarlet Pearl Cruise - The Pearl of Ha Long Bay - 2 Days 1 Night?

    +

    Included: Entrance fees for sightseeing as itinenary; Lunch; Kayaking or Local bamboo Boat,Swimming; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Spa Massage Service ,Beverages, Personal Expenses and Tips; and Surcharge Holiday. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Scarlet Pearl Cruise - The Pearl of Ha Long Bay - 2 Days 1 Night include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 723 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Scarlet Pearl Cruise - The Pearl of Ha Long Bay - 2 Days 1 Night offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Scarlet Pearl Cruise - The Pearl of Ha Long Bay - 2 Days 1 Night?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Scarlet Pearl Cruise - The Pearl of Ha Long Bay - 2 Days 1 Night wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
